As well as Nokia announcing the Lumia 2520 Windows 8.1 tablet during Nokia World in Abu Dhabi this morning, Apple is fully expected to unveil both the fifth-generation iPad and iPad mini 2 during its press event this evening (UK time). But that's not all. Microsoft also chose this day to release its latest tablet devices in stores around the world - in 21 regions, no less.

The Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 both went on sale today and are available, in the UK, from a variety of stores, including John Lewis, PC World & Currys, Game and Argos. You can also order them from Microsoft's own online store.
